Document Summary

The structure of dna allows us to understand how this material is replicated. Prior to this, it was thought that protein was the genetic information. A string of nucleotides has less information content than an amino acid string of the same length. Dna replication is addition of nucleotides following a template. The addition of nucleotides always occurs at a 3" oh. At the 5" end, there is a phosphate. Dna polymerase only function is the addition of bases to the 3" oh end. A complimentary nucleotide interacts w/ polymerase and the complementary nucleotide. If the nucleotides are not complementary, then the nucleotide will not stay in the active site of polymerase. If it is complementary, then a reaction takes place where two of the phosphates are hydrolyzed and removed. You are left with one phosphate in between each nucleotide to form the backbone of that dna strand. We know more about the bacterial system.

QUESTION 1. Choose the true statement about prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication.

A.Eukaryotic DNA replication involves less protein factors than does prokaryotic DNA replication.

B. Prokaryotic DNA polymerases replicate DNA 5' to 3', while eukaryotic DNA polymerases replicate DNA 3' to 5'.

C. Eukaryotic DNA replication begins at multiple origins of replication, while prokaryotic DNA replication begins at a single origin of replication.

D. Prokaryotic genomes take longer to replicate than eukaryotic genomes.

QUESTION 2. Bacterial cells use DNA replication to:

A. make back-up copies of their genome in case of a mutation.

B. manifest multiple phenotypes at once.

C. copy their genetic material prior to binary fission.

D. build functional proteins.

QUESTION 3. Choose the true statement about the genetic code.

A. A cell's mRNA code is read four nucleotides at a time to specify a single amino acid.

B. The genetic code encodes 64 amino acids, one for each of the 64 corresponding codons.

C. The genetic code is redundant, with multiple codons specifying a single amino acid.

D. The genetic code varies widely among organisms, with each having a different set of codons for a corresponding amino acid.

QUESTION 4. Of the following enzymes, which are correctly matched with their function? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all correctly matched statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.

A. Helicase, relieves torsion stress as DNA unwinds

B. Ligase, covalently bonds adjacent Okazaki fragments

C. Primase, removes RNA primers

D. DNA polymerase III, builds most of the DNA on the leading and lagging strand

QUESTION 5. Which of the following contributes to DNA replication accuracy? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.

A. The capacity to proofread improves DNA replication accuracy.

B. A slow rate of DNA replication contributes to accuracy.

C. The use of primase improves DNA replication accuracy.

D. DNA replication accuracy is improved thanks to complementary base pairing rules.

The four nucleotides found in human DNA (G, A, T, and C) combinein groups of three to create 64 different amino acids, but only 20amino acids and two start/stop codons are used to constructproteins. Why is this so? (Please Elaborate)

		64 amino acids are produced, but 42 of them are unstable anddegraded immediately
		64 amino acids are produced, but the body only integrates 42 ofthem into proteins
		Different nucleotide combinations code for the same aminoacid
		Many amino acids are not complete until they bind to a secondamino acid
